John Culberson vowed to secure the nation's southern border. The Houston Republican attributed problems with gangs, violence, drugs and guns to illegal immigration.

Rick Perry stick to the truth instead of spreading tales about border violence. New FBI crime statistics released this week show Texas border communties to be safer than Austin -- where Perry lives.
"Instead of pandering to TV cameras to tarnish the image of Texas's border region, Gov. Perry should focus on controlling crime in the rest of Texas," Reyes, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday.]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/congressman-says-facts-contradict-gov-rick-perrys-border-fear-mongering/feed/0Rep.

Texas Rep. John Culberson says that President Obama's call for bipartisan cooperation on immigration legislation is superfluous.
Why?
Because the Houston Republican says there's already consensus -- for strict enforcement of existing immigration laws.
“The president doesn’t often visit our state, so it is understandable that he would’ve missed the successful bipartisan work my colleagues and I have done to implement and fund Operation Streamline," Culberson said as Obama was flying to El Paso today for a major speech on immigration reform.]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/rep-john-culberson-says-obama-already-has-immigration-reform-consensus-for-strict-enforcement/feed/0
